  1. You guys should post your books in the Daredevil #1 Club Wow! Bee-U-tifu! I've been meaning to join some of the book threads... Have to learn how to post the damned pictures first though!
  2. I actually like the fact that DD's getting more recognition- I feel it's long deserved!
  3. My Pride & Joy! I can't figure out how to add a darn picture on mobile (sorry for the link!).
  4. I know - I couldn't believe it either!! Unelievable....especially at an antique shop! Care to divulge what you paid for those babies? I'm assuming it was a great deal. If he didn't pay 90% of their FMV I'm sure the sharks here in CG will be out for blood saying he ripped off a little old lady and karma's going to swallow him whole. There's plenty of room between paying 90% FMV for something and buying a million dollar Action #1 for a dollar. This was somewhere in between. No little old lady. Anonymous dealer who had several short boxes marked "Collectors Comics" in a glass case. Never even met him. He wasn't giving them away. But he is not a comic guy per say so they were not priced according to the current market conditions. I don't have a problem with getting a "deal" at an antique store. The antique store is in the business of selling collectibles. It is the antique store owner's duty to know the market for all forms of antiques and price appropriately. If I go into an antique store and if the owner of the store offers to sell me the comics for a certain price, even if it is a low price, I would not feel that I am ripping him off. Again, it is the antique store owner's job to know what he is selling. On the other hand, if you go to some old lady's house and buy her deceased husband's Action Comics 1 for $100, then you are ripping her off. The old lady is not in business and cannot be expected to know the FMV of what she is selling. . That's well said!
  5. Thanks for the great books and communication, Rodney. Very Best!
